ALBERT DELLAMORE, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

WASTE-PIPE CONNECTION FOR CLOSET-BOWLS.

.5PIECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,497, dated May 6, 1902.

Application filed June 6,1901- lo all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT DELLAMORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Waste-Pipe 0onnections for Closet-Bowls; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to waste-pipe connections for closet-bowls.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, durable, and comparatively inexpensive connection by means of which the bowl may be expeditiously and securely connected to the waste-pipe.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view through the lower tubular neck of the bowl and the floor and waste-pipe. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the waste-pipe and the collar attached thereto; and Fig. 3 is an edge view of the collar, showing the undercut slot of one of the ears.

Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes the neck or tubular portion of the closet-bowl, 2 the waste-pipe, and 3 the floor. Over the upper end of the waste-pipe is placed a collar 5, which has an annular depressed recess 6, into which is poured molten metal, such as lead, forming a secure and water-tight joint, the filling being denoted by the numeral 7. The collar is provided at equidistant points upon its periphery with lugs 8 and 8, and two of the diametrically opposite ones, 8, of which, as shown, are formed with reversely-undercut T-shaped channels 9, which are open at one end and closed at the other. The two other diametrically opposite lugs 8 are made plain. The purpose of these lugs 8 and 8 will be presently explained. The tubular portion of the bottom of the bowl is provided with an inclined lip or connection B, and arranged above the same and integral with said tubular portion is an annular extension 10,

having a downwardly-projecting flange 10,

which is adapted to rest on the floor, said extension, its flange 10, and lip or connecting end B forming a packing-chamber 11, which is adapted to receive a packing, as indicated by the numeral 12. The extension 10 is provided with apertures 13, through which project bolts 14, which have their heads let into the channels 9 at their open ends and are provided on their screw-threaded ends with clamping-nuts 15. By referring to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the construction is a strong one, entirely Water and gas tight, and per= mits of the parts being readily assembled and securely retained in position.

To connect the bowl to the waste-pipe by means of the collar, the lower portions of the bolts 14 are adapted to engage or abut against the periphery of the collar between the lugs 8 and 8, the heads of the bolts being below said periphery. The bowl being given a partial turn,the bolts naturally slide against the edges of the periphery of the collar between the lugs 8 and 8, thereby guiding the heads of the bolts into the channels 9, the lugs 8 serving as stops to prevent the bolts from being turned too far out of line, thereby rendering the-heads of the bolts to more readily coact with their respective channels.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more-extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described the invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent, is-

The combination with the neck or tubular portion of a closet-bowl formed with an annular extension having a downwardly-projecting flange; of a waste-pipe, a collar fixed to the upper end thereof provided with equidistant peripheral lugs, and two of the diametrically opposite ones of which having reversely-arranged undercut channels, the two other diametrically opposite lugs serving as stops, and bolts with heads adjnstably con- In testimony wherecf I have hereunto set nected to said extension, said bolts being army hand in presence of two subscribing witranged between the stop-lugs and channelnesses. lugs and adapted to slide on the periphery of ALBERT DELLAMORE. 5 the collar so as to permit of said heads of said Witnesses:

bolts coacting with the reversely-arranged channeled lugs, substantially as specified.
